Seller seems to have an assortment of crap for sale. Probably a pawn broker or guy that scours sales locally. Doubtful he is the thief but selling stolen goods is still a crime. Best have original owner contact police before bike is gone forever. On May 14, 2012 7:50 AM, "murphyjrfk" wrote: > I

Your renter's insurance should cover. Possibly a clever insurer may try to carve out stolen bicycles and baby carts for New York area policies. Check the policy language on theft. On Wednesday, May 16, 2012 1:46:55 PM UTC-5, Peter M wrote: > > Somewhat on topic but what insurance covers bikes?

One thing to make sure of is what type of coverage you have via renter's insurance. Some policies offer "replacement value," which covers you for the cost of replacing your bike with a like bike at current prices (minus deductible, of course). Other policies will only cover you for the initial cost

Annoyingly enough, the police have been incredibly slow following up about this, and at this point I'd be pretty sure it has either been sold or otherwise disposed of. If anyone sees anything matching this description pop up again, an email or post on the list would be appreciated. I'd take a
